Care and Maintenance

The DuraPlex omnidirectional microphone has been IP57 dust-protected, waterproof rated by extensive internal tests, so you can clean it using distilled water and a mild detergent when necessary.

Adjusting the Headband and Microphone

Adjust headband width.

Adjust the earhooks, slide the boom arm in the boom pivot, and twist the pivot to adjust height and length.

Bend boom arm into place. Adjust position.

Use presence cap or leave off. Important: Use slide-fit windscreen with the presence cap Use snap-fit windscreen without the presence cap

Reversing the Boom

The microphone boom can be positioned on the left or right side of the head.

1. Squeeze the earpiece towards the headband. 6/14 Shure Incorporated
2. Push out the boom arm and boom pivot.
3. On the other side, repeat the steps to remove the boom pivot.
4. Move the boom arm to the preferred side, ensuring that the boom arm is placed in the slot in the boom pivot.
5. Squeeze each earpiece towards the headband to push boom pivots back into place.

Attaching the Windscreen

There are two windscreens for use with the DuraPlex microphone:

1. A slide-fit windscreen for use with the presence cap Shure Incorporated
   
2. A snap-fit windscreen for use without the presence cap
   Note: Do not use the snap-fit windscreen with the presence cap–the presence cap can become caught inside the snap-fit windscreen.

Specifications

Note:

• All specification values are based on using a typical bodypack with 5 V bias input or the RPM400MTQG preamplifier. When using the RPM400LEMO amplifier, refer to the RPM400LEMO specifications.
• All specifications measured with a 48 Vdc phantom power supply. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity.
